Why would I think about Jake Paul?

[–] anarchost@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He comes up from time to time in Coffeezilla videos. We can all learn something from analyzing grifters and grifts from a bird's eye view.

[–] zeppo@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

That's true, he's a case study in poor ethics. Always good to know what's going on out there.

I try to not think about Jake Paul.

when i doIt makes me angry

[–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago

This sums it up.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I try to pretend that he doesn't exist in hopes that he'll eventually just go away. He'll be 30 soon and his power to manipulate children will hopefully fade and, if we're lucky, that will be the last we ever hear from him.

If the world was fair and success came from merit then the Paul brothers would have died of starvation a long time ago.

Suicide Forest YouTuber I think

[–] Devi@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

That's the brother, this is the ruining neighbours lives, openly cheating on all his partners head of the operation.

[–] GONADS125@feddit.de 14 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I hope he gets torn apart by Mike Tyson, but I think the fight is total absurdity.

This will be the first time he actually fights a pro boxer, but he of course was too much of a punk to fight a current pro.

Despite Mike's age, I don't know if punk ass Jake Paul will have an answer for Iron Mike's head movement and fury.

I worry that Mike Tyson might gas out and that Jake bitch ass Paul could take the victory simply due to the 30 year age gap.

If he wants to be a real boxer, he should be fighting a current pro in his weight class. He's a fucking clown.

Mike Tyson's training footage. He's still a monster...

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

I have absolutely not got a scooby who that is

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

The world is full of dumbasses. I don't know why that one should be any more special than the others.

[–] tobogganablaze@lemmus.org 7 points 8 months ago

I only know him from the South Park special about the Prime drink.

[–] amio@kbin.social 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

A stupid dipshit of an "influencer" or whatever. That is as much as I ever need to know about the guy.
(Apparently I have been conflating him with his brother, which would normally be a mistake but... seems fine, actually.)

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

His brother is pretty awful too, but not anywhere near as bad as Jake himself. Logan is at least a decent pro wrestler lol

I don't think about Jake Paul.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think he is an endlessly annoying and insufferable human being and that his biggest contribution to our culture has been giving impressionable kids reasons to act like idiots.

I'm also shocked and more than a little impressed that he's become such an accomplished athlete. Boxing is an incredibly difficult sport and he's not only competing at a pro level, but he's excelling too.

[–] GONADS125@feddit.de 4 points 8 months ago

He hasn't fought a single pro boxer in his weight class.

He's fought outside his weight class and he's boxed fighters who were not boxers.

He has not had a single honest professional boxing match.

His fight with Mike Tyson is the going to be the closest he's come, but it's still absolutely ridiculous given the 30 year age gap and the fact that Mike Tyson has been retired.

Jake piece of shit Paul has definitely trained hard and has a proficiency in boxing, but he hasn't come close to putting that to the test fighting active pros in his weight class.

Until he does so, he's just a joke.

Shane Dawson for Zoomers

[–] neidu2@feddit.nl 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't, really. I don't know much about him, but he strikes me as the typical cocky youtube grifter, so I hope he gets knocked through the ropes by Mike. Sure, there's an age difference at play that works in Jakes favor, but Mike is still a beast. Plus, if allelse fails, there's always Jakes ear...

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

As little as possible

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I feel bad for Aaron Paul because I have to stop and think "theres Jake, Logan and Aaron... which one wasnt the fuckstick?" Ive googled it before and they arent related which makes me happy for Aaron.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 8 months ago

I don't... Hearing his name just made me think about Logan challenging Mike fuckin' Tyson to a boxing match. Can't wait to see him get his ass handed to him by the champ.

[–] Gigan@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago

Good at marketing himself
